Changing for the better.
We want to change things for the better. The EOS Group has defined its sustainability goals in its Corporate Responsibility (CR) strategy. It lends structure to our commitment and encourages us to act even more responsibly.
Intro
Sustainability Strategy and Goals
Receivables management means taking responsibility
We are successful in business because we embrace change and take responsibility for all that we do. We want to change things for the better for our clients and employees, but also for consumers, our industry, and society.
Sustainability is an integral part of our corporate responsibility. Our CR activities go beyond environmental protection. As an international finance service provider, we are especially committed to social responsibility and corporate governance.
Our special concerns are divided into four fields of action within our CR strategy: Responsible collection, Joint progress, Financial sustainability & Environmental protection.
Materiality as starting point for our sustainability strategy
EOS further elaborated its CR strategy with the involvement of internal and external experts and developed a materiality matrix in 2022. It represents the most important sustainability topics for our external stakeholders, as well as for EOS, and forms the basis for the future direction of EOS' sustainability strategy.
Global responsibility: The UN Global Compact
The EOS Group joined the United Nations Global Compact, the world’s largest pact for corporate responsibility, in 2021. As a member, we pledge our commitment to the compact’s 10 principles on human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption. Each new member first must derive its own goals from the 10 principles. We did so in the past year, identifying our goals from the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to which we can make the most effective contribution. The SDGs we selected, along with the associated key figures and goals are important benchmarks in our corporate responsibility strategy. As required by the Compact, we will report on our progress once a year in our “Communication on Progress” (COP).
Το 2021, ο Όμιλος EOS εντάχθηκε στο Παγκόσμιο Σύμφωνο των Ηνωμένων Εθνών, το μεγαλύτερο σύμφωνο εταιρικής ευθύνης στον κόσμο. Ως μέλος, δεσμευόμαστε ότι θα τηρήσουμε τις 10 αρχές του συμφώνου για τα ανθρώπινα δικαιώματα, την εργασία, το περιβάλλον και την καταπολέμηση της διαφθοράς. Κάθε νέο μέλος πρέπει πρώτα να εξαγάγει τους δικούς του στόχους από τις 10 αρχές. Αυτό πράξαμε κατά το προηγούμενο έτος, προσδιορίζοντας τους στόχους μας από τους 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) του ΟΗΕ, στους οποίους μπορούμε να συμβάλουμε αποτελεσματικότερα. Οι στόχοι βιώσιμης ανάπτυξης που επιλέξαμε, μαζί με τα σχετικά βασικά αριθμητικά στοιχεία και στόχους, αποτελούν σημαντικά κριτήρια αναφοράς στη στρατηγική μας για την εταιρική ευθύνη. Όπως απαιτείται από το Σύμφωνο, θα υποβάλλουμε έκθεση για την πρόοδό μας μία φορά τον χρόνο στην «Ανακοίνωση για την πρόοδο» (COP).
